Özet

Objective: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are at a risk of gadolinium deposition because of multiple control imaging. Therefore, it is important to determine biomarkers that can differentiate active and chronic lesions without using contrast agent. This study aimed to assess mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and signal intensities (SI) on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) values of active and nonactive lesions.
